nap(2XNX)           (XENIX System Compatibility)           nap(2XNX)


       NAME
             nap - (XENIX) suspend execution for a short interval

       SYNOPSIS
             cc [flag . . . ] flag . . . -lx
             long nap(long period);

       DESCRIPTION
             The current process is suspended from execution for at least
             the number of milliseconds specified by period, or until a
             signal is received.

          Return Values
             On successful completion, a long integer indicating the number
             of milliseconds actually slept is returned.  If the process
             received a signal while napping, the return value will be -1,
             and errno will be set to EINTR.

             sleep(3C)

       NOTICES
             This function is driven by the system clock, which in most
             cases has a granularity of tens of milliseconds.
